Twitter: the uses and abuses of a gadget

It is amazing the amount of gadgets you can use in your blog nowadays. Ho-we-ver… I wonder, what is the relevance of knowing that somebody is having a full bowl of cereals and berries for breakfast?

So, the question shouldn’t be “What are you doing?” but… “Do you have anything interesting to share?”

Twitter can be of great use for journalists, no doubt about it (even Downing Street is twittering). But making the most of it doesn’t mean to update it every hour or day, if you don’t have anything relevant to say! And as Will McInnes says, Twitter is addictive, so… use it, but don’t be used by it!
